What will you learn:
Equipment for landscape photography.
Learn to control different lighting situations.
Landscape analysis for photography, and how to use it in your work.
How to connect with the landscapes, and respond to them photographically.
A zone system for color and tones.
Composition and the elements we can play with.
How to work in the field.
Landscapes as art.
Edit your landscape photographs.

During these three days I will pass on my hard-earned knowledge and experiences in landscape photography. This master class is a combination of theories combined with my photographs, practical photography in the field, and editing. Participants will receive a list with recommended equipment before the workshop, but your basic equipment has to be a digital SLR camera with at least one lens, tripod and cable release. You also need to bring a laptop with your preferred photo-editing program, and I recommend Adobe Lightroom. (You can buy it online from www.adobe.com.) Your basic knowledge has to be at least our Basic Workshop or similar level.

Day one, 09.00 to sunset:  We start the day with indoor lectures at Las Minas workshop center, and in the afternoon we will go to Cerros los Picachos in the Cocle province for afternoon and sunset photography.

Day two, sunrise to sunset: We start the day with landscape photography at a lagoon near Penonome, and after lunch we move to Sarigua national park in the Herrera province.

Day three, sunrise to 16.00: We start the day with landscape photographs at sunrise at Las Minas Workshop center, and after that we will edit the photographs taken during the workshop.

We serve coffee, tea, cold drinks, and snacks during the workshops. Transport to the outdoor locations is not included, but we encourage car-pooling. (I have have space for 3 persons + equipment in my car for the outdoor trips)

We can recommend a nearby hotel for participants who are not living in the area.
